MTX has an amp rated at around 1200wRMS x 1 @ 2 ohms
1501d or 85000d, I forget.
I don't feel like looking it up right this moment, but its on their website.

that'd be a good match.
Shivas take up to 650wRMS each, and two Shivas will produce a 2 ohm load on a mono amp

so just use that amp and wire the 2 shivas in parallel on the 1 channel? sounds good...im just afraid of the price on the amp

yup that's it

the JBL BP1200.1 would do the trick for ~$300 US, too

yeah but the px1100.1 is a regulated power supply - gives 1100w rms 1-4 ohms

the bp1200.1 gives 600w rms at 4 ohms and 1200w rms at 2 or 1 ohm

ebay you can get a new bp1200.1 for like $250 just a heads up and as far as dB ratings, i saw someone with a pair of shivas each in a 1.75 cF sealed box and with a JL 1000/1 he hit 157.3 dB

im not quite sure if you'd hit that but expect something to be loud and sound excellent, especially in a sealed box

i have a JBL 1200.1 and i was considering getting two Shivas and i was wondering if sealed is better for these subs versus ported?
